NEWARK — An international dragnet is netting dozens of people, including an undisclosed number from New Jersey, in what authorities are calling “one of the largest counterfeit goods smuggling operations ever,” according to the state’s U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Ongoing arrests in New Jersey, Texas, New York and the Philippines are capturing suspects from the U.S. and China, according to a release from the office of Paul J. Fishman, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

More than 26 people have so far been charged, although it is not yet clear how many are already in custody.

Fishman and officials from the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency will detail the operation at a noon press conference in Newark.
